Company Update: 22 January 2026
Scaling Singapore’s Community Living Platform
- Portfolio expansion underpins multi-year growth visibility. The Assembly Place (TAP) targets a scale-up from 3,422 keys to >10,000 keys by end-FY30, supported by 544 secured keys across five Singapore locations and initial regional expansion into Malaysia (66 keys). TAP’s five-sector operating footprint positions the platform to capture demand across Singapore’s 1.91mn non-resident population, as of June 2025, with selected government-backed contracts providing incremental revenue stability and downside protection.
Financial Performace: Revenue Growth Trajectory
TAP delivered a 66.0% revenue CAGR from S$6.87mn in FY22 to S$18.94mn in FY24, with growth accelerating 43.6% YoY in 1H25 to S$11.65mn. The Community-driven stays segment accounted for 94.8% of total revenue in 1H25, underscoring the strength of the core platform. Gross profit margins of 78.7% in 1H25 also reflect operating leverage as the portfolio scales.
Market Position and Growth Fundamentals
As Singapore’s largest community living operator by key count, TAP captures structurally resilient demand from foreign students, with a 6.7% projected CAGR growth in population through 2031, expatriate professionals (EP, S-Pass), and active seniors (one in five Singaporeans aged 65+, rising to one in four by 2030). Industry-wide occupancy rates of 85-95% support revenue stability and cash flow visibility.
